Ingredients
  

1 pound salmon fillet, skinless and boneless

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup flour

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice level)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes). Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

    Set Up the Breading Station: In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In the third bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

      Bread the Salmon Bites: Dip each salmon piece into the flour first, coating it completely. Shake off the excess flour. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the piece in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs. Repeat with all salmon pieces.

        Fry the Salmon Bites: Heat a generous amount of oil (about 1/2 inch deep) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded salmon bites in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bites and let them drain on paper towels.

          Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.

            Serve: Arrange the crispy salmon bites on a serving platter. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the bites or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for added freshness.
